Shui Wuya reached out his hand gently, softly stroking the Fallen Heart Flame. His movements were tender and soothing, as if calming a wounded animal.
As his hand touched the flame, the fiery sphere began to settle, almost as if it were quietly listening to Shui Wuya's voice.
"Fallen Heart Flame, you are a dazzling gem among the heavenly fires. From now on, lend us your strength for our cultivation journey."
Shui Wuya's voice was warm yet resolute, filled with trust and hope for the Fallen Heart Flame.
It seemed as though the flame understood Shui Wuya's intent, its ferocity easing, releasing a warm and gentle glow as it nestled into his palm with obedient docility.
Accepting the flame, Shui Wuya held it with ease. In his hands, the once-destructive aura was now tamed, transformed into a submissive presence, like a child responding to the call of a parent.
With a light pat, Shui Wuya completed the subjugation of the Fallen Heart Flame.
"My goodness."
The scene before them stunned everyone present. This powerful, once-violent flame had submitted so readily to Shui Wuya's control, leaving onlookers in awe of his strength.
Xiao Xun'er watched the scene unfold, her heart filled with both shock and reverence. Surprise flickered in her eyes as her brows knitted slightly, her lips parting as though to speak, but the sight left her speechless.
Shui Wuya's presence was marked not only by his strength in subduing the heavenly flame but also by the extraordinary aura he exuded. He stood there, almost like a god capable of taming the heavens themselves, each movement and every glance emanating an unparalleled force and authority.
"Even my father's presence pales in comparison to his," Xiao Xun'er thought, taking a deep breath in an attempt to calm her racing heart.
Shui Wuya gazed at the Fallen Heart Flame in his palm, a glimmer of intrigue in his eyes. He slowly raised his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly as a gentle spiritual force began to flow around the flame.
Xiao Yan stood to the side, his gaze unwavering as he watched Shui Wuya's every move, eyes brimming with admiration and longing. His respect for Shui Wuya deepened with every passing moment.
"Master, could you help me subdue the Fallen Heart Flame?" Xiao Yan asked respectfully, his tone carrying a hint of hope.
With a slight smile, Shui Wuya lifted his finger, allowing a soft spiritual force to radiate from his fingertips, slowly encasing the Fallen Heart Flame.
Closing his eyes, he seemed to communicate with the flame, his expression both solemn and focused.
Xiao Yan watched intently, his heart filled with anticipation. He knew that subduing the Fallen Heart Flame was no easy task, but he had complete confidence in Shui Wuya's ability to succeed.
Suddenly, Shui Wuya's body trembled faintly as a surge of powerful spiritual energy poured from his fingers, rapidly merging with the Fallen Heart Flame.
The flame roared, flaring up in a turbulent wave as if struggling to resist, but it was soon subdued by Shui Wuya's spiritual force, calming down once more.
"From this day forward, Fallen Heart Flame, you shall belong to my disciple."
Shui Wuya's voice was calm and authoritative, carrying a weight that brooked no defiance.
Shui Wuya gazed intently at Xiao Yan, raising his hand as a gentle stream of spiritual energy encircled the Fallen Heart Flame, softly guiding it into Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan closed his eyes tightly, feeling the warmth of the Fallen Heart Flame as its power spread within him. A scorching energy surged through every inch of his skin, filling every meridian. His heart pounded, and he seemed to hear countless voices calling out—echoes of the Fallen Heart Flame—reverberating within his mind with a mysterious, formidable force.
With a resounding boom, a powerful energy erupted from within Xiao Yan, as though a fiery orb ignited inside him, enshrouding his entire being in radiant flames.
He felt himself merging with the fire, his consciousness blurring as he melded with the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame. In that instant, he sensed an unprecedented power, a profound understanding of the laws of fire.
"Excellent," Shui Wuya murmured, watching Xiao Yan with a glint of satisfaction in his eyes. Although he had assisted, Xiao Yan's innate talent for absorbing heavenly flames was exceptional.
Meanwhile, the Fallen Heart Flame was now completely subdued.
Within the Skyburning Qi Refining Tower, a potent energy wave radiated outward, shaking the entire academy.
"What is going on?!" Elder Su Qian shouted in shock, immediately leading the senior academy staff to the scene, where they observed the strange phenomena within the tower.
"What happened inside the Skyburning Qi Refining Tower?" a red-robed elder asked anxiously.
"This is bad—the Sealing Flame has been taken!" Elder Su Qian's brows knitted together, his eyes flashing with anger and concern.
"Who dares tamper with the Sealing Flame of the Skyburning Qi Refining Tower?" an elderly, white-haired elder roared, his voice filled with authority and an intimidating edge.
Just then, a thunderous sound rumbled from within the tower. A beam of light shot skyward, like a colossal sword piercing the heavens, dyeing the sky blood-red.
"Look, the Skyburning Qi Refining Tower!"
"What's happening? Could it be sabotage?"
"This is serious! We need to investigate immediately—any delay could be disastrous!"
Students throughout the academy murmured in surprise, alarmed by the disturbances from the tower.
Elder Su Qian gazed at the tower solemnly. "We must investigate without delay. We cannot allow anyone to act recklessly!"
The others nodded, fully aware of the tower's importance and determined not to let anyone cause harm.
A group of Canaan Academy's high-ranking members surrounded the Skyburning Qi Refining Tower with grave expressions, forming a tight perimeter, prepared for any sudden incident.
The air was tense, the atmosphere charged, ready to erupt at any moment.
Then, unexpectedly, a figure emerged from the tower—it was Xiao Yan. His aura seemed unusual, catching the attention of everyone present.
Elder Su Qian frowned, stepping forward to confront Xiao Yan with a sharp gaze. "Xiao Yan, did you—did you take the Sealing Flame from within the Skyburning Qi Refining Tower?"
Xiao Yan's expression remained calm as he nodded, answering steadily, "Yes. I have subdued the Sealing Flame."
